Review on Pearhead Babyprints Handprint Footprint Keepsake Gifts by Mark Kolipano

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not bad if you take the advice of other reviews

Like most reviewers, I found the plasticine to be sticky and will stick to the rolling pin and child's arm/leg. After figuring out the best way to proceed, I was very happy with my results. Here are some tips that I think have helped me. 1.) Use a regular rolling pin, not the one that comes with the kit - the clay will stick less and roll smoother. 2.) To roll out the dough, I used wax paper instead of aluminum foil. .3.) Do not use the included "ring" to cut out the circle, it will stick and ruin the print. Just create it yourself. 4.) Do not use the included straw to cut the hole, it will stick again. I used a chopstick to make a hole. 5.) My daughter's foot kept sticking out of the clay so I rubbed some coconut oil on her foot and it worked like a charm. 6.) I was able to make 2 clay decorations. my 8 month old daughter's foot was fitted with clay.
